Be still for a second while I try and try

To pin your flowers on, la la la la

Can you carry my drink I have everything else

I can tie my tie all by myself

I'm getting tied, I'm forgetting why

Oh, we're so disarming, darling

Everything we did believe

Is diving diving diving diving off the balcony

Tired and wired we ruin too easy

Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave

Hold ourselves together with our arms

Around the stereo for hours, la la la la

While it sings to itself or whatever it does

When it sings to itself of its long lost loves

I'm getting tied, I'm forgetting why

Tired and wired we ruin too easy

Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave

But I'll be with you behind the couch when they come

On a different day just like this one

We'll stay inside till somebody finds us

Do whatever the TV tells us

Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days

We'll stay inside till somebody finds us

Do whatever the TV tells us

Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

So worry not

All things are well

We'll be alright

We have our looks and perfume

Stay inside till somebody finds us

Do whatever the TV tells us

Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

So worry not

All things are well

We'll be alright

We have our looks and perfume on
